vB Shoutbox 1.0 · **Released**: 05-15-2002

Well, people wanted it, so here it is: a vB-integrated Shoutbox. It's a little different than the one they used to have on this site, however. The moderation functions are VERY basic...but they'll be improved for 2.0, most likely, if there's any interest.

A short breakdown:

It's a chatroom-esque page that everyone can use.
Shouts that day, shouts in last 24 hours, shouts by YOU, and total shouts, are all tracked.
Leaderboard (top shouters) is tracked.
Clickable smilies automatically added below the add shout box.
"delete" link shown on all shouts if you're an admin or a moderator (usergroupids 5, 6, and 7 by default).
bbCode parsing included.

Attached is an archive containing all the files you'll need for the basic installation, AND for the optional features. NOTE: the vBHacker compatible file included within does NOT constitute a full installation. You'll still need to upload the shoutbox.php file to your main forums directory.

Enjoy. Here's a live demo: http://www.movieforums.net/shoutbox.php

I want a miniavatar before the name in the shoutbox and placed this in the shoutbox_bit:

<img src="icon.php?s.userid=$[shoutid]" height="16" width="16">«$name: but this is not working. Ofcourse this isn't the right code to do this. Does anyone know how to do this?

Hmmm, I might look into it and test it out when I get a chance tomorrow. It involves modifying the php files to do this.

I just installed shoutbox and it shows up and seems to work until I try and shout. when I click on the shout now button I get a "The requested URL was not found on this server". Did I miss a config somewhere?

on forumhome template, just find the following:

$loggedinusers
$birthdaybits

And add below:
$the_shoutbox

As for your shoutbox posting error, please show me your forums.

That post was to x-sector but I will look into yours.

Wardsweb do you have any kind of Instant messenger? Preferably AIM? If so Please IM me at Gio Takahashi.

You may have did something wrong in the template. when I used the shout I got a 404, that most likely indicates that you did something wrong in the template.

Sorry no IM. I just did a copy and paste to create the 10 new templates and to edit the other template and index. Think I should just rebuild all the templates?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
